Lutnista i kompozytor. Urodził się ok. 1560 prawdopodobnie w Serravalle koło Treviso, zmarł po 1607 lub po 1618.
Jego ojciec - Constantino z Mediolanu był ok. 1562 nauczycielem w Serravalle. Ok. 1565, szykanowany i podejrzewany o herezję przez wenecką inkwizycję, uciekł z Włoch i schronił się w Krakowie. W niedługim czasie przybyła tu również jego żona z trojgiem dzieci (najmłodszym był Diomedes), stąd kompozytor od dzieciństwa wychowywał się w Polsce. W latach 1588-93 oraz w 1603 był nadwornym lutnistą Zygmunta III Wazy, a w lecie 1593 towarzyszył królowi w podróży przez Gdańsk do Szwecji. Związek Cato z dworem Stanisława Kostki, podskarbiego ziem pruskich jest wątpliwy. Dalsze jego losy nie są znane. (culture.pl)
Diomedes Cato (1560 to 1565 - after 1618) was an Italian-born composer and lute player, who lived and worked entirely in Poland. He is known mainly for his instrumental music. He mixed the style of the late Renaissance with the emerging Baroque, and also Italian idioms with Polish folk material; and in addition he was one of the first native-born Italian composers to visit Sweden.
He was born near Treviso between 1560 and 1565, possibly at Serravale where his father is documented as being a teacher. Around 1565 his family, who were Protestants, fled Italy to escape the Inquisition, and settled in Poland. Cato, who had left Italy before the age of five, received all of his musical education in Kraków, where the family settled. The first record of his employment dates from 1588, when he was hired as a lutenist by the court of King Sigismund III Vasa, a position he kept until 1593. In 1591 he wrote music for the wedding of Jan Kostka at Świecie castle; the Kostka family may have been patrons of his, since Stanisław Kostka[disambiguation needed] left him a considerable legacy in 1602.
In 1593 and 1594 he went with King Sigismund to Sweden, where his fame as a lutenist and composer was evidently large; as late as 1600 he was still the most famous composer of Italian origin known in Sweden. Some of his music, including a few Polish dances, survives from sources only in Sweden. The last tentative record of his life is from 1619, when there is a single unconfirmed reference to him playing the lute during that year.
Cato wrote both vocal and instrumental music, and both sacred and secular: however he was most famous for his works for lute. The lute works include dozens of pieces in many forms and styles, including choreae polonicae, fantasias, galliards, transcriptions of Italian madrigals, passamezzos, and preludes, all of which he probably played himself.
